Abstract/Contents: | Discusses mound irrigation, stating that "although mounds often look nice, they can be difficult to irrigate and maintain. Even if irrigation coverage is relatively good, the tops of the mounds tend to dry out more rapidly, causing turf decline and an undesirable appearance." Suggests that "as an alternative to costly hand labor, a supplemental irrigaiton system for mounds can be installed using pop-up sprinklers." Cautions that "before installing a supplemental irrigation system for mounds, it is important to evaluate the existing system to ensure everything is in proper operating condition." |
